Bleeding Blue tetra

1

For those of you that don't follow my journal, here's a blurry video of my Bleeding blue tetras. They are so new to the trade they are just called, Hyphessobrycon sp, anyway a great little fish, they have been in the tank for a month now, well worth the cost.

Lee, they had the Lampeyes in a tank with Emerald eyes.. first time I've seen them in person. I can see why you were drawn to them.. they are gorgeous little fish! And those eyes! Too bad they won't stay alive for you.

Body shape like a black neon yes, but I didn't think it was so blurry you could not see the red in the fins and the black/blue coloring as it bleeds into the body?

I re-watched jus now and I guess I may see some red...in the tail?
I can clearly see the red in all the other fish tho, lol. They really do look jus like blackies tho. I like the Black neons cause they have a tinge of blue coloration (I have 16). The black next to the neon stripe causes section to not be tru black, more close to purple. Jus an observation.
With a new classification after all these years, I wonder if it's possible that these could jus be a mix between the black neon and purple tetra (Kerri's)??.etc.?

Oh Im well aware Lee knows his Tetras as I greatly appreciate all his video links to them. I do believe I saw another video Lee posted earlier (somewhere) of these fish that was not 'blurry'.
I just noticed in this video how closely related they are to some other tetras. There Are so many tetras!
